On September 12, Alissa Sauer investigated an extraordinary occasion at The Ackerly at Reed’s Crossing, a community dedicated to offering older adults enriching and adventurous opportunities. Their newest endeavor took flight with a skydiving adventure, exemplifying the belief that joy and exploration know no age restrictions.

The group had to postpone their jump three times because of weather conditions, but on May 30, 2025, they ultimately reached Skydive Oregon’s private airfield in Molalla. The sky was clear, providing an ideal setting for resident John Sager and several staff members, including PrimeFit Wellness™ instructor Autumn and restaurant manager Jerrod, to make the leap and savor the excitement of skydiving.

John, a keen participant in Travel by Leisure Care, was ticking off his second bucket list item, having already experienced a hot air balloon ride. His enthusiasm was evident as he indicated a wish to skydive again in the future.

The skydiving experience mirrored the energetic lifestyle at The Ackerly, where PrimeFit Wellness™ and Travel by Leisure Care offer groundbreaking opportunities for seniors to embark on new adventures and build strong community connections. Emphasizing holistic well-being, The Ackerly aids both residents and staff in realizing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Life at The Ackerly is lively and motivating, concentrating on assisting older adults in discovering purpose and joy each day. The community looks forward to making skydiving an annual occasion, confirming that the best days at The Ackerly are ahead. For those keen on learning more, booking a tour is recommended to see firsthand how residents are thriving with confidence and vitality.
